➤ Circle Internet Group reported significant year-over-year growth in USDC circulation ($75B, up 72%) and on-chain volume ($12T, up 247%) for Q4 2025, alongside strong revenue and EBITDA growth. ➤ The company is advancing its infrastructure, with the Arc testnet on track for a 2026 mainnet launch and the Circle Payments Network enrolling 55 financial institutions. ➤ Executives emphasized strategic focus on interoperability via CCTP and the convergence of stablecoins, blockchains, and AI for future commerce and payments.

➤ USDC and Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) are now live on the Pharos blockchain, enhancing crosschain liquidity and DeFi capabilities. ➤ This integration aims to position Pharos as a key player in decentralized finance and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), supporting assets like tokenized treasuries and private credit. ➤ The adoption of USDC and CCTP by Pharos is expected to attract institutional interest by providing compliant, scalable solutions for on-chain capital deployment and reducing friction in decentralized markets.

➤ USDC and Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) have launched on the Pharos blockchain, enhancing its capabilities for Real-World Assets (RWA) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi). ➤ This integration provides native stablecoin support for settlement, collateral, trading, and programmable payments, enabling secure USDC transfers across 22 blockchains via CCTP. ➤ The launch aims to boost RWA and DeFi adoption on Pharos, supported by a $10 million incubation program for ecosystem projects.

➤ Pharos Network has designated USDC as its core stablecoin for its $10M incubation program, aiming to simplify RealFi and RWA project scaling. ➤ The program leverages Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) for native cross-chain support, reducing complexity and enhancing capital mobility for RWAs and payments. ➤ This initiative, backed by major investors, positions Pharos Network as a Layer-1 blockchain focused on institutional-grade financial applications and global settlement.

➤ Pharos Network has chosen USDC as its core stablecoin for its $10M Native-to-Pharos Incubation Program, aiming to foster RealFi builders. ➤ The integration of USDC and the Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) provides developers with native tools for scalable onchain finance, RWA tokenization, DeFi, and global payments. ➤ This move positions Pharos Network as a settlement layer for real-world financial applications, bridging traditional finance with decentralized networks.

➤ Circle has launched USDC Bridge, built on its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), to simplify native cross-chain transfers of USDC using a burn-and-mint mechanism across 17+ EVM-compatible networks and others like Solana. ➤ The bridge aims to improve user experience by automating gas fees, displaying them upfront, and providing live status updates, addressing common friction points in multi-chain fund movement. ➤ The launch occurs amidst a class-action lawsuit against Circle alleging negligence related to CCTP transfers during the Drift Protocol exploit, highlighting the ongoing tension between innovation and regulatory scrutiny in the cross-chain infrastructure space.
